    SkyLines is an alternative to the OLC. IGC files may be uploaded as with OLC. In addition it is planned to support realtime tracking in conjunction to XCSoar.

    Not at all - just pull up and gain about 5000'. One of the DH variants is rated to +11g / - 9g - The pilot may not be though :)

    Congrats to Chip Garner and the DuckHawk on U. S. 15 Meter Nationals Win!

    There is now a video avaliable.

    It is yet another big wing plane. Often these aircraft do not do well in comps. I'm more interested in the 15 meter Duckhawk (despite the upfortunate name).

    A draft proposal for a CASA glider pilots' license endorsement.

    Good idea. Glider pilots have to demonstrate 2 or 3 spin recoveries per year in order to stay current. I recommend that all pilots practice their spins every year. One of the problems with the incipient spin training approach is that I can remember how disorientated I felt the first few times I spun an aircraft. Like anything else it takes practice to recover from a spin. The other problem is that it is possible to go from flying to spinning without going through any effective incipient spin. this is why gliders sometimes spin in a thermal.

    A report from the ATSB about a near miss between a power plane and a glider. Scroll down to p42 if necessary.

    Its a shame. From the video the landing oportunities look good where they crashed. Apparently the glider, a Puchacz, got way out of position and there was a lot of slack in the rope before the weak link broke. The Puchacz then rolled over and dived into the ground.

    Turn point, Brookton, WA
    Various heights - the one above looks about 3000' AGL to me. The purpose of these photos was to provide a reference in the days when turn point verification was done using cameras. Those days are long gone (thankfully).
